Key points

The regulation raises the collective EU target for emission reductions in covered sectors to at least 40% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels.
It establishes a long-term framework that paves the way for setting post-2030 emission reduction targets toward climate neutrality by 2050.
Member States must ensure their greenhouse gas emissions do not exceed specific limits defined by a linear trajectory.
If a Member State fails to meet its obligations, it must submit a corrective action plan within three months.
